And Ken Buck is a long time member of the Freedom Caucus. This isn’t some moderate Republican or Reagan Republican who’s decided the MAGA wing has gone too far. This is someone who’s politics align with the MAGA wing probably about 95% of the time, at least, who’s decided the MAGA wing has gone too far.

Or maybe that a woman has too thoroughly “disgraced” herself.
Tromp’s offenses have been far worse. I wonder if Buck still cheers for Tromp.

He ripped the entire House Republican caucus a new one, verbally, on his way out, and he’s been pretty critical of Trump for quite awhile now.

Did he retire early just to screw over Bloebert, or was that just a bonus?

Though his concern seems to be that they’re ineffective horrible people, and he’d much rather have effective horrible people in power.

Local politics usually involving lot of grudge-holding and petty beefs and personality conflicts, I suspect this was also a payback/revenge move on Buck’s part.

It feels fair to amend this headline:
“How retiring GOP congressman Ken Buck screwed over retiring congresswoman Lauren Boebert”

There seems to be a very good chance you will lose that seat anyway, and that you will lose the primary in your new district, as well.
You just don’t want to imperil that fat paycheck.
Enjoy your new career as a has-been.
